Hi Mart ,
and welcome ,Like most cars it depends on the spec ,condition service history but even a very good one with below 100,000 miles with full service history tax & mot ,only fetch no more than £1500
with that kind of milage & I presume no tax mot its between £250 - £500 if there is no major rust on any of the panels
regards Andy.

If it's been standing there will be a few issues to sort out!

Difficult to value without seeing the thing,but rust is the killer,of course.
Pull back the rtim in the boot on the O/S and have a poke at the rear of the wheel arch...expect a bit of rot just above the rear tow eye,they all do it but check the rear edge of the box section just in front of the rear valance here as well,not unusual to find this full of water.

Engine's are always fixable,320i's are unloved,but go well if you use the gearbox and let them rev.,it's a short stroke engine so thrives on revs!
Check for oil/water mixing at the oil filler cap and the header tank,it's not the head gasket,it's a cracked head...
Unmetered air leaks on a car that has been standing will give you lots of head-scratching,the big pipe from the AFM to the throttle body will almost certainly need replacing.

Value?
£250-£750.A sound body is all.

thanks for your replys she runs like a gem it started on the button with a jump start and sat there an idel mint and reved up well , there is a small bit of rust on the right hand side of the rear panel but thats all i can find i recon it will go threw an mot with little trouble so i was thinking of advertising it for £600 with a new mot

If the shell is solid and the engine reasonable, it'll be worth £500 all day long to the pbmwc guys.
